HEIANKYO ALIEN / 平安京エイリアン

I came to this having grown up playing the Game Boy version of "Heiankyo Alien." I wish this version of the game had adapted some of the innovations of that Game Boy port; the nicer graphics, the multiple breeds of alien, the little boats to escape on, the undiggable areas of ground, the disappearing barriers, and I particularly miss that awesome soundtrack by Norio Nakagata. This port is just sort of okay, though not really anything special for the price, but when I want to really have a good time playing "Heiankyo Alien" I'm going back to the Game Boy port.

Heiankyo Alien is a 1980 arcade game that was a smash hit in Japan but may not have made it to US arcades-the premise involves running around and digging holes to trap aliens, then filling the holes to eliminate them. It's a very tricky game, especially at first as you are trying to learn the controls and how to play. This compilation includes that original but also includes a psychedelic-style remake that includes a special version containing a high-scoring-enabling bug that was originally removed, and an "idol version" that has to be somehow unlocked. While the original is hard at first, the alternate version, which is a timed game, is a great addition and an ideal place to start. There are several graphics tweaks available to make it less or more funky, a couple of different control options and more, plus powerups and hidden items to add to the fun. This is also where you find an option for fullscreen play so go here first. While it seems a little pricey for a 1980 game, the fact that it's actually a compilation adds additional value and makes it more worth it. If you're a retro/arcade game collector this is a must-buy because this was one of the first arcade hits in Japan and remains a unique challenge to this day. The more-accessible alternate versions still make this worth a try as they are a lot of fun.

A very arcade-like experience. The remake of the game is a modern re-imagining of the classic game, and the original is nice to have, but very outdated. The nature of the game is a quick 'pick up and play' style so I would recommend it for a person who has a laptop that can run this game. It misses out on leaderboards, which is a strange thing for a high score based game.

東大生開発の伝説の名ゲームが現代風ルールで復活！ 穴を掘ってエイリアンを埋める。 シンプル故に奥が深く、高得点を狙おうとすると平安京エイリアンとは全く別のゲームになります。 １プレイ５分ちょっとなのでスキマ時間に楽しめます。 ド派手なエフェクトのフィーバー感は非常に盛り上がりますが、エフェクトが苦手な人でもオプションで消す事が出来るので安心です。 そして！　元祖平安京エイリアンもプレー出来るおまけ付き！ 当時を懐かしみたい人にもお勧めです！

このタイトルに反応出来て、ホイホイとストアページ開いてしまうようなおっさんは黙って買っとけ。 ゲームってのはこういうのを言うんだよ。 …我はそんなにスコア出せるような変人になることはついに叶わなかったけれど。 平安京エイリアンを高速にするとこんなバカゲーになるんですね。 脳が童心に返って、そのうち考えるのやめて爆音で穴掘ってる、そんなゲーム。 最強の敵はあえてOFFにせずに残すブラーとエフェクト。そして自分のコントロールミス。異論は認める。

Heiankyo Alien is just dumb fun, always has been. Giving it the Pacman World Championship treatment was the right call. Great little high score game!

面白いんだけどスコア保存する機能が無いのが残念

This release of HEIANKYO ALIEN is a nice modern take on the 1979 original. There's an excellent techno soundtrack combined with updated gameplay elements that make it a fantastic high score chase. There's an element of area control that adds to your multiplier that encourages the player to roam around the level and not just hole up and wait for enemies to walk into your pits. Definitely worth a look if you liked the original or the GameBoy release.

Pretty good but I think Neo Heiankyo Alien is the better remake. I don’t think the Championship Edition format works that well for this game but it’s pretty cool it even exists at all.

パソコンでの操作がわかりません。どうやったらいいのでしょうか？
